Alice Coltrane

Spiritual jazz legend Alice Coltrane's second last commercially available LP for WB before stepping away from the public eye and focussing her energies towards her California ashram the Vedantic Centre and devotional music ( released a few years ago on Luaka Bop ) Beautiful album featuring the blissed out levitational harp piece 'Ganesha' almost 20 minutes of bugged out organ space-funk on 'Om Namah Sivaya' and three ashram/gospel pieces which are a little taste of where her music was going to next..
